1 FX & Markets Weekly Week 22/2015 DenizBank AG Economic Research and Development Vienna, Austria

2 Commodities drop across the board on USD strength Following last week s declines, this week was similar for commodities. All but one energy Future, and all but one type of metal tumbled. With respect to crude, the largest U.S. ETF that tracks oil (United States Oil Fund USO ) had the largest outflows in April and May for the last 6 years. Investors also cut holdings in gold ETFs, while the Dollar spot index is set for a 2 nd weekly advance. USD/JPY rises to 14-year high USD extended its rise against the JPY this week (+21% in 12 months) and surpassed even its June 2007 peak to reach a 14- year high. Janet Yellen signalled at the Senate Banking Committee that the economy is on solid ground and she saw hints wages may be starting to pick up. She deemed it as appropriate to raise borrowing cost this year. While the momentum measured by the MACD is supporting our bullish sentiment on this currency pair, the RSI indicates an imminent turn that is not going to be long-lasting. Also the Nikkei 225 equity index headed for its 11 th consecutive day of gains. RUB heads for its 1 st monthly decline in 2015 RUB declined 4,86% against the EUR (by the time of writing), and 5,61% vs. the USD this week. The Central Bank of Russia bought FX to accumulate reserves. Although Russia switched to a free floating exchange rate regime in November 2014, these interventions signal the CBR is willing to defend current levels. Venezuela stocks broaden performance The Caracas stock market extended its rally (+94% since May 19) after Venezuela signed a deal with Russia to double oil production in the coming years. A total of USD 14bn is going to be invested in Venezuela s oil and gas sector by Rosneft. Venezuela is one of the world s largest oil exporters and claims to have the world s largest crude reserves. But at the same time the country is heavily dependent on petro-dollars as it is estimated to gain 96% of its export revenues from oil. In terms of exchange rate there are other specifics. Venezuela has maintained capital controls since 2003 and currently has 3 legal exchange rates vs. USD (6,3 for Cencoex companies, 12 for Sicad companies, and 199 bolivars per dollar for Simadi companies). These rates are for valuation and reporting purposes and are pre-set by the government. Corporations are in one group depending on what they export. However, on the black market USD/VEF is currently around 397. The incredible equity rally (+406% in 12 months) is fuelled by the black market exchange rate.
